        My fiance has a few relocation opportunities, one of those being in Oakville, Ontario. We’re currently trying to weigh the pros & cons, so if anyone can share some info about Ontario I’d appreciate it! Info like cost of living, etc. Thanks. 🙂

          I live in Brampton, which is about 30 minutes away from Oakville. It’s part of the broader Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It’s not the cheapest place to stay, but I believe it’s better than in Toronto itself. If you’re working in Oakville, you can live in Hamilton or Burlington too.

          I have no idea where you are now and what the cost of life might be like, but I think that you’ll find some thing better and others worse. The plus side of living in Ontario (and most of Canada) is the medical care. OHIP covers a lot of the basic stuff, including emergency care, and if you’re coming here, chances are your dental and meds will be covered by the employer.

          We do get a bit of snow, but thanks to Lake Ontario, we don’t get all that much compared to other places!

          I love living here 🙂

          Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I guess the only thing I would wish for is to ahve more Windstone retailers around here because they a slim to non… 🙁

                I’m right smack dab in the middle of the city of Toronto but my soon to be sister-in-law and her husband both live in Oakville. It’s about a 40 minute drive from us to them…
